I saw this too and liked it even though on paper it sounded too twee, a la Pushing Daisies. I'm not sure of the 'serious' topics mixed with the all singing all dancing, but so far they've avoided preachiness. Always loved JLM in Trainspotting and he's very charming in this - his American accent is better than his Scottish one. Anyway what's not to like about Victor Garber singing?
